Do you really think its that important to remember

...your dreams?

Okay I remembered my dreams a lot when I was a teenager, and I remember having reoccuring dreams in my adult life, those mostly negative, things like loose or rotting teeth nightmares; reoccuring dreams I was skipping school and couldn't graduate high school (I did graduate high school, I think these ended once I went to college so it might have been feeling my education was incomplete); also reoccuring night terrors where I woke up punching the air, and could actually see something hazy in front of my face when I first woke up. Fortunately don't really have those anymore, maybe was a symptom of PTSD?

Anyway, last night I remember being somewhere like an over-crowded school lunchroom, packed with people, in a plain industrial/government building type of setting, and something about my sister and best friend when I was little doing these really daring things on the monkey bars I was never brave enough to do (like penny flips and one handed or no handed cartwheels), and talking to people about music; I specifically remember talking about "15 Feet of Snow" by Nick Cave, and about Madonna, and I woke up with the song "True Blue" stuck in my head, and weirdly, heard it today in a public place randomly.

I'm sure I'd remember more details about this dream if I wrote it down as soon as I woke up, and not the following evening after being up all day long and doing stuff.

Do you think it's even important to remember our dreams? Am I missing out on something by not reflecting on them or remembering them like I did when I was younger?

You know, just by posting this, I think it made me remember my dream last night more, and I wrote it down when I woke up.
